BlastIQ™ Quarry offers extensive quality control throughout the drill and blast process to deliver cost savings and superior blast outcomes.

Designed in collaboration with customers, this user-friendly system will save engineering and operation time from planning to blast performance analysis.

Minimise transcription error: Compatibility with public Application Programming Interface (API) allows custom reporting and software integration in a single workflow. Electronic capture and transfer of field data to BlastIQ™ Insights eliminates manual entry and enables rapid reporting, intelligence and audits.

Efficient documentation management: Blast documentation and job pack functionality ensure relevant documentation is uploaded throughout the drill and blast execution process.

Eliminates excess expense and reduces risk of poor environmental outcomes: Smart and automated capabilities ensure the right explosive product with the right energy is loaded every time.

Remote auditing and centralised collaboration: With information securely and centrally stored, drill and blast information can be audited remotely. In addition, information can be shared collaboratively via cloud-hosted web portals.

Visibility-of-Key-Performance-Indicators

Visibility of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Exception reports can be generated to provide better visibility to manage blast quality control.

Improved blast design: Market-leading blast design tools are available for survey, profiling, loading and timing rules.

Active development and world-class support: BlastIQ™ Quarry undergoes continuous development and works with users to improve its value, and is supported 24/7 by our global network of Support Engineers and Technology Specialists.

Technologies

The next generation BlastIQ™ Platform delivers a suite of enhanced technologies, empowering better decision making and increased control of blasting outcomes.

The technologies in the BlastIQ™ Platform are designed to deliver economic and operational value individually, but the benefits are maximised when they are integrated in a systemised process.

"Good blast design is critical. We have a busy production schedule, and we blast about three to four times a week. Having access to instant data means that you are making informed decisions"
